    The FWB sports didn't, but the early HW80's did!

    Yes I can recall some of the early hw80's being a bit hot after a running in period,but weren't they first and formost an export for the usa market?....then us englanders wanted them over here.
    Must admit,he's a good shot with that rifle....bunnies at 60 metres!,if I could hit bunnies at that range with a trusty .22 springer I wouldn't let it go.

    In my experience they're measured in Joules on the continent.
    16 Joules out the box would be 11.8 ft/lb

    I'm not a master gunsmith but I'm pretty sure i could make that shoot under 12 ft/lb

    There must be a connection between childish piss poor spelling and spewing utter drivel about a rifles capability.

    If you want to know how likely this story is to be true, consider this rather salient question-

    How many people had chronographs in 1984?

    I'm liking that Theoben Sirocco for £1000!

    Thing is, he clearly does sell stuff, even at his prices and with his silly descriptions and poor spelling.

    I did.

    Surprising how many visiting owners of 'parfull' airguns were shocked when they tested at considerably under 12 ft. lb., including two that were held on FAC and doing 8 ft.lb. and 9 ft.lb.
